Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers the following guidance to help guide you through the do s and don ts travelling to and whilst at KC licensed events. When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams. If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all. The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available to drink. Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog. When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle. Keep the dog in the shade - take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated. Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dog s welfare. WARNING: IF YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT RISK FORCIBLE ENTRY TO YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. 17. Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog s health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Kennel Club Regulations in this respect may be referred to the Board for

disciplinary action under the Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. The use of pinch collars, electronic shock collars, or prong collars, is not permitted at any show licensed by the Kennel Club. This shall apply at the venue or within the precincts of the show. 18. Not for Competition entries will be accepted. Details of each dog so entered must be recorded on the entry form and must be Kennel Club registered. 19. No modifications will be made to this Schedule except by permission of the Board of the Kennel Club, which will be followed by advertisement in the Canine Press wherever possible. 20. Should a Judge be prevented from fulfilling his/her engagement, the Executive Committee reserve to themselves the right to appoint another Judge to fulfil the duties. Exhibitors are at liberty to withdraw from competition but no entry fee can be returned. 21. The judges will be instructed and empowered to withhold the prize or prizes in any class if in their opinion the dog or dogs exhibited do not possess sufficient merit. Judges are not empowered to give prizes beyond those offered in the Schedule of prizes. 22. Passes will NOT be sent and no acknowledgment will be sent unless a stamped addressed postcard with receipt written on the reverse side is enclosed for the Secretary s signature. 23. All dogs must be registered or transferred at the Kennel Club before the Show. 24. The Committee are empowered to exclude any dog which is not in a fit state for exhibition, either from disease, vice, natural or other causes and if such exclusion takes place either before or after the dog is judged, the entrance fee will be forfeited. 25. In case of emergency, as to which the Committee shall be the sole judge, the Committee may at their discretion alter the date and place of holding of the Show, either before or after entries are received. In case of such alteration, no exhibitor shall be entitled to the return of entry money which may have been paid before receiving notice of the same. 26. CONVERSATION NOT ALLOWED IN JUDGING RING: Handlers showing dogs are not permitted to hold conversation with the Judge during the competition and any handler who persists in addressing the Judge after being requested not to do so by the Ring Steward, the Judge or any of the Committee will be reported to the Kennel Club.
